Réflexions sur soi et autre

From Centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris on Wed, 19 Sep, 2012 - 00:00
Une causerie de Vajrapushpa pour la sangha de Paris qui explore le paradoxe et les tensions existants entre le développement personnel et la dimension altruiste qui sont caractéristiques de la voie ; la tension entre nos propres besoins et les besoins des autres. On peut l'approcher en se libérant particulièrement des 3 entraves : l'attachement à soi, la dépendance aux règles et rituels et le doute. Et en réalisant que notre propre pratique n'existe qu'en relation avec les autres, le domaine des préceptes, des brahma vihara (la bienveillance, la réjouissance, la compassion et l'équanimité) et de la communication aimante.

Conférence donnée en anglais et traduite par Ujumani, au centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris
